Lena Dunham reflects on the 'insane' public discourse around her body in nude scenes on Girls as she says she's lucky that her thing was 'never to look at a picture of myself and pick it apart'


The actress and director, 39, created and starred in the acclaimed HBO show from 2012 to 2017, and frequently bared all as character Hannah Horvath to film the show's trailblazing sex scenes.

Last year, Lena revealed that her desire to not have her 'body dissected again' was the reason she cast Megan Stalter to play the lead role in the semi-autobiographical series, Too Much - which is set to drop on Netflix on July 10. Lena also happens to be a New Yorker who had a bad break-up with singer Jack Antonoff and then moved to London where she married British-Peruvian musician Luis Felber - who's the composer and co-creator of Too Much (pictured together in 2022) Speaking in 2016, ahead of the final season of Girls she confessed her feelings towards stripping off on screen had been affected by the huge amount of scrutiny over her body that she was hit with (pictured in 2016)
